I am an innovative nonprofit thought leader passionate about helping young women and girls from marginalized communities advance in life through upward economic mobility. I believe that young women and girls possess the talents and gifts to turn their passions into careers when equipped with the right knowledge and tools. I help create a space and platform where young women and girls from marginalized communities can learn the skills they need to transfer their talents and gifts to diverse careers.During my eight years as a nonprofit executive director, I am responsible for curriculum development for leadership and employability training for adults and minors, community partnerships, program marketing, program recruitment, and fundraising.I also help other women from marginalized communities with business start-ups by providing consultation on strategic planning and business management.
